Photographer's dream

Shot sunrise from the window three mornings running without leaving the room. The full-height glass makes an enormous difference.

Beyond expectations

We arrived late after a landslide delay and they had kept dinner warm for us without being asked. That is the kind of thing you remember.

Great value for the price

Simple room but spotlessly clean and the hot water never ran out, which is more than I can say for other places on this route. Would stay again.

Exceptional hospitality

I have travelled the Karakoram Highway three times and this is the best stop I have found. The manager arranged a jeep to Fairy Meadows within an hour of my asking.

Quiet, comfortable, well run

A genuinely quiet room, which matters on a road as busy as the KKH. Only note is that the restaurant closes fairly early, so plan dinner before nine.

I have never seen stars like that

The telescope in the panorama room is not a gimmick. We sat up until 2 am. Bring a warm jacket, the nights get cold even in July.

Perfect for travelling with kids

The family suite gave our two children their own space, which after four days on the KKH was exactly what everyone needed. Breakfast was generous and the Wi-Fi actually worked.

The balcony alone was worth the trip

We booked one night on the way to Hunza and ended up staying three. Waking up to Nanga Parbat from the balcony is something I still think about. The staff remembered how we took our tea by day two.
